'Discover' Helps Career Placement by Jennifer Rose Collegian Staff Writer For a number of years , Behrend's Career and Placement Center has been helping students choose which their majors and fmd jobs in their chosen fields. The "Discover" computer system helps students accomplish the former and the center hopes that job recruiting will benefit from the Reed Building renovation and Behrend's growth. Discover has been at use at Behrend for a couple of years, but many students have never heard of the program. The program consists of nine parts, including: self-assessment (in interests, abilities and values), how to chose a major, occupational outlook (salaries, availability, etc,), information on different careers available through your major, graduate schools, resumes and geographical locations of companies, colleges and military programs throughout the United States. The computer basically helps the student make informed career choices. To use the computer, students are required to sign up in lIIMINBEIPME beaver Terrace 456 E. Beaver Ave. 500 E.

The system has been temporarily relocated in the library during the Reed Building renovation since there is no room for it in the DUS temporary office in the green trailer behind Reed. The Career and Placement staff is looking forward to a larger new office. The old office had no windows and little ventilation, and the temporary office is cramped into two rooms with no waiting areas for students. Marybeth Peterson, head of the Career & Placement Office, says that students have been very understanding about our space problem. "I hope they'll continue to bear with us until we move into the bigger office." Behrend has had some problems attracting recruiters. Since Behrend has only recently begun including four-year programs, many recruiters have ignored it for other colleges. Once a company has recruited rt iL7l:l'r , ,r K Ito 0111.1.011111 255 E.

College Ave Page 3 from a college, it usually continues to go there each year, so Behrend has missed some of the big companies. In addition, most recruiters are big companies that want to hire many students at a time, and since there was a limited number of students at Behrend, they often skipped over the campus. This situation seems to be improving as more students attend all four years at Behrend. The average number of recruiters visiting Behrend is 30, while main campus has more than 1000. Behrend students, however, are able to request an interview with a recruiter at University Park. This year, 39 students were granted interviews at main campus for the week of March 6-10, and many others for following weeks. Other services available from Career and Placement include group career counseling, a career information library, interest tests, workshops (for resumes, grad school, etc.), internships, and one-credit courses including a job searching course for seniors and 458 E.
